Now they are soldiers, training to liberate Ukraine from Russia's invasion — but doing it more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) away in Britain. They are among several hundred Ukrainian recruits pounding through an intense form of infantry training at an army base in southeast England. One batch of the 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers that the British military has pledged to train within 120 days, they are spending several weeks learning skills including marksmanship, battlefield first aid and –- crucially for their country's future — urban warfare. As the Ukrainians practice house-clearing amid the rattle of gunfire and pall from smoke grenades on a mock-townscape where … [Read more...] about Urban combat and beyond: Ukrainian recruits get UK training

Both Canada and Denmark claim tiny Hans Island, a rocky outcrop ruled by ice and wind that lies between Greenland and Ellesmere Island. So when the Canadian defence minister, Bill Graham, landed there earlier this summer, the Danish government denounced the move as an 'occupation'. Despite the formal diplomatic protest, Canada refused to back down. When the two countries drew an offshore boundary in 1973, they couldn't agree on the island, which is in a narrow channel of water, about 1,000 kilometres from the North Pole. The Danes have planted more than one flag there over the years, only to have them shredded by ferocious winds. The Canadians felt it was their turn. But why now? The campaign for Hans Island, which measures all of 1.3 square kilometres, appears to be part of a broader effort to make sure the world knows that the Arctic archipelago is Canadian territory. For years, experts have warned that Canada has not done enough to assert its sovereignty over the high … [Read more...] about Hans off my island

France's armed forces completed their withdrawal from Mali six months after French President Emmanuel Macron announced his plan to pull out of the country following tensions with the ruling junta. Tensions have also grown over the past year between Mali, its African neighbors and the European Union after Mali's transitional government allowed Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group to deploy on its territory. The last contingent of French soldiers of the so-called Barkhane force present on Malian territory crossed into neighboring Niger on Monday afternoon, the French military said.

By JON GAMBRELL DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Iranian official Monday denied Tehran was involved in the stabbing of author Salman Rushdie, though he sought to justify the attack in the Islamic Republic’s first public comments on the bloodshed. The remarks by Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, came three days after Rushdie was wounded in New York state. The writer has been taken off a ventilator and is “on the road to recovery,” according to his agent. Rushdie, 75, has faced death threats for more than 30 years over his novel “The Satanic Verses,” whose depiction of the Prophet Muhammad was seen by some Muslims as blasphemous. In 1989, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa, or Islamic edict, demanding the author’s death, and while Iran has not focused on Rushdie in recent years, the decree still stands. Also, a semiofficial Iranian foundation had posted a bounty of over $3 million for the killing of the author. … [Read more...] about Iran denies involvement but justifies Salman Rushdie attack
